The first room was clean but the window has moisture in between the panel so you can’t see outside. The next day I told the front desk and they rectified it by moving us to a different room with no hustle

The hotel is nice but the smell in the hallway of my room floor smells horrible. I was in the shower and then my power went out I had to shower in the dark and then use my cell phone light to finish getting myself together because my uber was coming at 7am to catch my flight back home. The hotel offered to send a maintenance worker up but I didn’t have time for him to physically fix anything being I had a flight to catch
